Corporation Lawyer by Practice And a Farmer by Proxy.

Kentland Enterprise. Democratic papers are proclaiming that Mr. Peterson, their candidate for congress, is a farmer. People generally know bow a corporation lawyer farms. That old gag was worn threadbare forty years ago when candidates and public speakers would appear with their trousers jammed down in 'theirboot tops, and with hay seed sprinkled over their clothing in hopes of catching the farmer vote. But it don’t work these days. People care little whether a public officer fs a farmer, lawyer, merchant or whatnot, so long as he delivers the goods. Judge Crumpacker has been tried, and proven true to all classes, and the Democratic effort to prejudice the farmer, the soldier and the labor vote against him will prove fruitless.
